Peadar Clancy

Peadar Clancy (died 21 November 1920) was the second-in-command and a squad member of the IRA Dublin Brigade during the Irish Civil War. On 21 November 1920, he, Richard McKee, and a third and unidentified man were arrested by the Royal Irish Constabulary after they were listed as senior IRA leaders in US Senator Daniel Shea's captured documents, and they were taken to Dublin Castle, where they were identified to General Ormonde Winter by IRA informer Frank Brogan. The three men were then executed by firing squad in the castle courtyard.
